North Macedonia
Macedonia is a small country with a massive history. With a population of just over 2 million people it traces its history back to antiquity. We only spent a week there, but I can honesty say if I needed to hide out somewhere in the world, I would have no problem spending a year here.…

Our Albanian Food Journey
I am stating right off the get go, I am not a food blogger. There are far more talented people out there doing that. However, this is a glimpse at what we encountered in our three weeks in Albania. Spoiler alert, the food was great. The bottom line is, get out there and try different…

London, England
After starting our post retirement travels 8 years and 10 months ago we have finally arrived in England, our 25th country. We are ecstatic to be here, and what a time to be here! One of the things I love about travelling is you never know what exact moment in history you may be seeing…

Reykjavik, Iceland
As our cruise with Celebrity came to an end we settled into Reykjavik for a week of tourist activity, which included diving the iconic Silfra Fissure. As the worlds northern most national capital it has a unique distinction. After Culture night and scuba diving, we spent the balance of our time just wandering around town…

Ottawa
As luck would have it we had four free days between our Montréal and Halifax house sits. A reasonable amount of time to play tourist in Ottawa. We have managed to visit the capital cities of 18 other countries and it was always a bit embarrassing to admit that we had never been to our…

Lighthouses and Fall Colours
Another beautiful day means another road trip to a new part of the island. We started out our day by heading to the Summerside COVID testing site for our mandatory follow up COVID test after our arrival in PEI. Negative again. Their organization and no nonsense approach to the whole situation is quite refreshing. After…

House Sitting Serendipity
As with pretty well everyone else in the world, our life is not quite heading the direction we had mapped out 12 months ago. On the plus side, for us we are fortunately still doing very well. Instead of housesitting gigs in Panama and Bonaire, we are now simply enjoying house sitting in Canada. And…

House Sitting Serendipity
As we return to Australia for another year we are incredibly excited to be house sitting across this amazing nation. Our first house sit is a repeat sitting in the beautiful city of Albury, and we love it. One of the many serendipities of this nomadic lifestyle is you are allowed the opportunity to try…

New Zealand Road Trip – The Final Leg
It is with a bit of sadness that I type this post. The last three months have been a wonderful time exploring the never ending beauty that is New Zealand. If you have ever harboured a desire to explore this little corner of the world, all I can say is, “Get on it!” We were…
